It is called a tank top (or simply tank shirt/tank). Of course, the more generic term "sleeveless shirt" is also used.

The term you mentioned, "vest", is a British English name for this type of garment. Vests in the U.S. are different (with buttons).

  • The British 'vest' was originally only worn as underwear, but in these less formal times a garment of the same shape can be worn uncovered in hot weather.
